eCommerce is booming in Boulder, Colorado, and the surrounding area, but which companies are leading the pack and why?

Boulder, Colorado is known as one of the main ‘bicycling centers’ in the US. This means Boulder, and the surrounding Colorado areas, are home to numerous merchants who sell biking gear, equipment, accessories, and more, both online and in-stores.

But biking equipment isn’t the only driver of Colorado’s immense eCommerce industry. Technology companies and health/wellness companies are growing rapidly as well, and major companies like Gaiam and OtterBox are leading the pack when it comes to putting Boulder, Colorado ‘on the map’ as a key eCommerce player.

How are Colorado-based companies like OtterBox and Gaiam succeeding?

There’s two main ways in which these companies are standing out in the Colorado eCommerce industry:

1)They’re paying attention
These companies are not only rooted in Colorado, but they’re also paying close to attention to the things that health-conscious, outdoorsy, and environmentally-minded Coloradoans care about, and creating products that speak to these consumer interests.

OtterBox (the fool-proof cellphone case company), knows that everyone wants protection for their phone, and has planted their roots firmly with the outdoor lifestyle Colorado provides, with their product being increasingly popular among outdoor sports enthusiasts.

2)They’re making the most of what eCommerce has to offer

Gaiam knows that eCommerce isn’t just about getting products to a greater number of people. For them, it’s also about spreading an environmental message, as they plant trees through the Conservation Fund as a means of offsetting their carbon emissions from shipping their products.

How we recommend that these and other Colorado-based companies can continue to grow and succeed with eCommerce:

One word for you: Integration

With an integrated eCommerce solution, it’s easy to keep up with high order volumes. That’s because you’ll have a fully automated process that will do the ‘heavy-lifting’ for you. Here’s how it all works:

“Integration has saved us at least 10 hours a week on just the fulfillment side. This new process has helped streamline the way our orders are inputted into Sage 100, and our team couldn’t be happier with the automation.
